Sunday Post/Mailbox Monday 11/3/19: Hello November

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog…
Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came in their mailbox during the last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists….

Wasn’t it just summertime? I feel like I blinked and November arrived. I took the picture above on a recent day trip, I love the Fall foliage. It has been a busy past week on and offline and I managed to get two reviews up and participate in a book blitz. I also dressed up for Halloween. Did you dress up? I shared a pic on Twitter if you want to take a peek. I was one of the Grady twins from The Shining. It was fun paying homage to my favorite writer while also freaking people out a little.

onto more updates….

recently on the blog:

I posted my thoughts on Hallowed Ground by Paul Twivy which was a fun YA adventure read with a great setting.

I shared by thoughts on Deadly Ride (Britton Bay #3) by Jody Holford which overall was okay but was unexpectedly lovely-dovey.

I also participated in the book blitz for The Journals of Octavia Hollows . There’s still time to enter the signed copy giveaway.

up next:

I am just about finished reading A Crafter Quilts a Crime: A Handcrafted Mystery so hopefully I will have that review up this upcoming week.

Also coming up is the 7th Annual HO-HO-HO Readathon. I have several Christmas books to pick from so I’m definitely ready for this one.

in my mailbox:

The Little Bookshop on the Seine (Little Paris Collection)  by Rebecca Raisin arrived via NetGalley. This is book 1 in Little Paris Collection. I’ve read this author before and enjoyed her writing so I am looking forward to this one.

I was able to get a copy of The Six Wives of Henry VIII by Alison Weir through AmazonPrime reading. I am excited about this one because the Tudor dynasty fascinates me and it has been a while since I have read about it.

October wrap-up: 

I read and reviewed 5 full length novels in October, which is great for me.  I enjoyed all of them especially In At the Deep End, One Little Secret and Brother.

1. The Magical Sunglasses by Nicole McGrath
2. In at the Deep End by Kate Davies
3. One Little Secret by Cate Holahan
4. Brother by Ania Ahlborn
5. Hallowed Ground by Paul Twivy
6. Deadly Ride (Britton Bay #3) by Jody Holford

 

That wraps up my book updates for the week. What are you up to? Enjoy your week.
